Flutter: Build errors for cloud_firestore: above version “0.7.4”

iOS build fine but Android build failed.
I have looked thru all similar cases but I still cannot resolve my Android build errors:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':cloud_firestore:compileDebugJavaWithJavac'.
> Compilation failed; see the compiler error output for details.

I tried for weeks and couldn't resolve it. To build Android, I need to specify cloud_firestore version 0.7.4
Anything above, the Android Build fails.

Any pointers?

@LiveRock I got rid of the error by updating the project level build.gradle on android as follows

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.1' classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.1.0'

Maybe you could try the same.
However now running into another problem

Error connecting to the service protocol: HttpException: Connection closed before full header was received, uri = http://127.0.0.1:50650/ws
